Comment Just curious why you choose this green fluorescent lighting-looking background on so many of these otherwise great photos? It is not the most flattering or best color for objects unless you want to make some Matrix-related statement. --Cart (talk) 17:21, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cart: this photo has a grey background... please post off topic questions on my talk page. --Ivar (talk) 17:47, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't find this question off-topic since other users have also commented on your green backgrounds. I checked the background in this photo with the color sampler in Photoshop before I posted the question, since I wanted to make sure I didn't say something that wasn't true. It is not a neutral grey, but has a tint of green turquoise in it around the color #7f8b89. Anyone can check this. I just wanted to ask. --Cart (talk) 18:23, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Background color on this photo has not been altered during postprocessing. This is the result with my light sources. It's grey enough for me and imo has a good contrast with sulfur's yellow crystals. --Ivar (talk) 19:14, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so it's a style choice, no problem. But in this case, since it is the light source, the tint will affect the sulfur as well as the background and thereby not giving it the perfect color. I think it's important for photos that are used as lead pictures in articles (and you have added it to 114 WPs), to have as correct color as possible of the sample. Most photographers will calibrate the camera to the color of the light source in a studio shot, or you can do it in post. --Cart (talk) 19:45, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Beautiful crystals. I'm OK with the background, but questions about it are surely on-topic. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:55, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I uploaded a color-corrected version over the original, background now grey according to color picker, and the sulfur lost most of the green tinge. Reload the page to see the change. Janke (talk) 18:17, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot Janke. I was hoping Ivar might do this himself since it's his photo and people can respond badly to overwrites. Anyway, it all looks great now. --Cart (talk) 18:26, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Info thank you Janke for the effort, it took a bit more time for me to rework it from raw. I hope I learned something today (lyrics from one estonian song: human is learning the entire lifetime, but dies anyway as a fool...) --Ivar (talk) 19:09, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's nicer this way; I particularly like the color of the crystals more. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:32, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
